Grapple Grapple- down to 2 options

shucksters · Feb 11, 2019

Good evening all

I know has been hashed around a bit, but I am buying a grapple. I have a Kubota Grand L 4240 HSTC-3 with a cab/Fel etc. I have already ordered the Kubota 3rd function valve (I have a good dealer) and it will be installed in a couple of weeks. I've narrowed it down to 2 grapples:

- Landpride SGC 1060 60"
- EA 60" Wicked Root Rake grapple

I can touch the Landpride but only watch video on the EA. I really like the features on the EA and the way it looks on their website. I think I would be happy with either, but since I'm investing a few hard earned pennies in this set up, I would value opinions from those of you who have either of the ones listed above.

Thanks much in advance! Sam

EA 60" Wicked Root Rake grapple all the way.

I've had my Wicked Twin for a while now and keep the tines shiny!

I have EA wicked grapple 54” dual lid on Kubota B26 and absolutely love it. Better design, engineering and usefulness. Can pickup a pencil, rock to large logs.

Hard to beat the quality of the EA. Lighter weight and a lot of little details that make it soooo much better. You won't regret getting the EA.

EA 60" Wicked root rake grapple ordered today- should see it in 4-6 weeks. Dealer has my 3rd function valve in so will get it installed in the next week or so. CAN'T WAIT to clean up some stuff!!

You’re getting one of the best cleanup tools available. To help my smaller B26, added 2” rear wheel extension, ballasted rear wheels (dealer comped for adding 3rd valve.)and welded expanded metal in the grill guard. Plan to fabricate a skid plate at some point. Do lots of brush work.
